Phone Interview with Vimeo's Jeremy Boxer: Release of Tip Jar and Pay-to-View
Phone Interview with Vimeo's Jeremy Boxer: Release of Tip Jar and Pay-to-View from Fine Art Magazine on Vimeo.
See our above per release telephone interview with Jeremy Boxer taped September 18, 2012.
Vimeo’s focus on quality and creativity has allowed it to become one of the Web’s top 10 distributors of video online1 with more than 75 million monthly unique visitors2 and one of the world’s largest creative networks with over 13 million registered members. Vimeo’s introduction of Tip Jar and its upcoming pay-to-view service provide a clear path for video creators to build businesses around the films and videos they create.

“Empowering creators to make money from their videos is a logical next step for Vimeo as a service and an opportunity to expand the overall marketplace for video creators and viewers,” said Vimeo CEO Kerry Trainor. “Established creators and emerging talent alike can connect directly with their audiences without the need to conform to industry standards around video format, price or timing releases.”
Vimeo’s Tip Jar enables video creators to crowdsource funds to support works directly from their viewers. Tip Jar will allow anyone to give tips before, during or after watching a video; Vimeo will pay 85 percent of the gross revenue to the creator. Starting today, Vimeo Plus or Pro members can choose to activate Tip Jar.
Vimeo’s pay-to-view service will be an open platform for video creators to sell access to their films and videos. Expanding on traditional rental and Video On Demand models, Vimeo’s pay-to-view service gives creators customizable options to sell their films and video content directly to their audiences and provide control over pricing, rental duration distribution location and other settings. Vimeo will begin rolling out its pay-to-view service in beta preview this fall with a curated series of films. Vimeo will make the pay-to-view service available to all Vimeo PRO subscribers in early 2013.
“Creators have asked us for quite some time to help them monetize their work, but we think it needed an approach that put the controls back into the hands of the creators themselves,” said Dae Mellencamp, President of Vimeo. “We designed these tools to allow video creators to be as flexible as possible while providing the ability to financially succeed at various levels of viewership.”

Featured Artist - Kalos&Klio
Kalos&Klio,
Pandora’s Box, 2012
Kalos&Klio
Artistic duet Kalos&Klio is a distinct artistic case. Above
all they are an artistic duo, a particularly rare
phenomenon in our intensively individualistic era. The artist pair is born
in Greece, where they live and work. Kalos&Klio have joined forces
since 2005 and operate in a complementary fashion; as they say: “we choose
to work as a unit that operates with two hard disks”. The pair considers
the process of working as one, a path more intriguing since they come from
different artistic trajectories. Kalos studied
photography in GR and Klio studied
painting and printmaking in the NL and
USA and also holds an MFA from the University of Chicago,
USA.
Kalos&Klio are interdisciplinary artists working in a
variety of media, incorporating installation,
digital graphics and design. They are
crossing the boundaries of the high and low arts as they choose to think
across them. Through their post pop and post
psychedelic explorations they seek to open up new avenues in the
world of digital art. They are breaking through the boundaries of the arts
as they create ensembles which are deliberately emptied of ideology and
which, for precisely this reason, articulate a political
discourse. They are intentionally artists of the ‘post’ and the
‘intermediate’, their work is based in post pop and post psychedelic art
with steampunk
characteristics.
The artistic pair is not indifferent to
the fragmented world from which their works are inspired
and influenced. They scan the virtual cyberspace as well as the
(unquestionably material) world of global flea markets, as they look for
raw materials for their creations. The final work is then presented as a
single artwork print or as an installation that is realized on a
variety of printed surfaces: wallpaper, fabric, garments,
crockery and tiles, creating environments that are intricate and
complicated. Artistically Kalos&Klio operate like ‘cultural
nomads’, like Flâneurs wandering casually in the imaginary of the
internet screen among diverse cultures, including their own home
culture.
Kalos&Klio artworks, in a deeper
level, are concerned with what is – in appearances only – a research in
vain: the exploration of our lost connection with the memory of
the past through reusing existing objects; the memory as
historical past or aura, but also the importance of memory as
illusion in the internet by means of a mélange of personal
narratives, among which one can surf time and space; notions that have in
present nothing to do with what we’ve
known.

Minjung Kim: Predestination
Minjung Kim, Predestination, 2012. Collage with
burnt, colored rice paper and black ink. 57 1/8 x 29 7/8
inches
Minjung Kim:
Predestination
Reception for the artist: Saturday, September 29, 5:00-7:30 PM
Artist’s Talk: Saturday, September 29, 6:30 PM
Leslie Sacks Fine Art,
Brentwood is pleased to present an exhibition of new
works by Minjung Kim. This will be the first American showing of
Kim’s works since her
very successful solo exhibitions at Leslie Sacks Fine Art in 2003 and
2007. The artist will be in attendance at the reception to
give a brief talk about her
new works.
This exhibition will feature several
pieces that embody the basic elements of ink, paper and fire found in the
dense fields of rosettes in her earlier works, but in the new Predestination series
she opens up her pieces, using fewer rosettes and scattering them across
the picture plane. Strung together by delicate trails of black ink, these
rosettes - made of singed, colored and collaged rice paper -
create dynamic, asymmetrical constellations of color and form against a stark white background
of handmade rice paper.
Kim’s first solo museum show outside of
Korea was held in 2003 at the Modern Art Museum of Ascona, Switzerland.
This followed the 2002 publication of Antonio d’Avossa’s Skira monograph, Minjung Kim.
Kim’s works are held in the public collections of the Guan Shanyue Art
Museum, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China, the Bibliothèque nationale de France, Paris,
France, and the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds, England. Kim’s first solo
museum exhibition was
held in 1991 at the Injae Art Museum, Gwangju, South Korea. Her works have
also been exhibited at the Guan Shanyue Art Museum,
Shenzhen, Guangdong, China,
Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome, Rome, Italy, Museum of Modern Art,
Ascona, Switzerland, the Henry Moore Institute,
Leeds, England, Vittoriano
Museum Complex, Rome, Italy, and the Fondazione Palazzo Bricherasio,
Turin, Italy. Kim was also a featured artist in
the 2009 Venice
Biennale.
Minjung Kim was born in 1962 in Guangju,
South Korea and currently lives and works in Italy, France and the United
States. Kim holds an MFA from Hong
Ik University where she studied both traditional East Asian painting and
classical Western art. Beginning in 1991, Kim attended the Brera
Academy, Milan, Italy, where
she studied the work of modern European
artists.
Leslie Sacks Fine Art is
located at 11640 San Vicente Boulevard in the Los Angeles community of
Brentwood. Gallery hours are Monday - Saturday, 10
AM - 6 PM. There is
ample validated on-site parking. This exhibition along with most of the
